Crock Pot Mexican Shredded Beef

Posts may contain affiliate links. Please see my Privacy Policy for further details.

So if you read my post from yesterday, I had every intention of making pot roast for dinner.  Then I got distracted by tv and my Frito Bandito solo, one thing led to another and I ended up with this seriously amazing Mexican beef!  I mean the aromas alone were mouth-watering! It was one of those as you starting walking towards the kitchen your nose did a little twitch, your tummy made a low growl and you started to walk a little faster to that smell.  I couldn’t tell you how many times Mr. Fantabulous walked through the  kitchen and did a huge sniff followed by a “Mmmmmm smells sooooooooooo good!”

I’ll be serving these tonight as either soft tacos or a buritto/chimichanga.  I have my enchilada sauce (follow steps 1-6 and just let it simmer for 20 minutes) already made.  I’ll make up some spiced corn, black bean and red onion salsa and perhaps a side of Mexican rice or refried beans.

But look at it.. it’s sooooooo pretty!  I bet this would be AMAZING as a pizza with a creamy avocado sauce and colby jack cheese. *Mental note.. .try as pizza!*

Just a side note.. this definitely has some heat to it so you’ll need something cool to balance it out – creamy guacamole or cilantro sourcream.

  12. Using 2 forks, shred the beef.
  13. Add the shredded beef back to the juices and mix.

    This became my goto recipe for shredded beef. It’s in my regular rotation for protein to have on hand.

    Is the hot pepper sauce just hot sauce? Like red hot?

      Hi Chrissy!

      Like say Tabasco, Cholula or yes red hot. Just not Buffalo sauce.

      Best Kitchen Wishes!
